Additional Details:
the "Old Abbey," so called from a fancied resemblance to a place described in a novel. Built about 1740 and one of the oldest houses in Leominster. Originally a very large house and a noted tavern on the old turnpike road. At one time was one of the "underground railroad stations" for secretly transporting slaves north.
